Republican state Sen. Dino Rossi of Sammamish could also be a source of ideas. He had the honor at last week’s Republican National Convention. Here’s what he’s quoted as having said in the GOP roll call to officially nominate Mitt Romney:

“Madam Secretary…We are from the real Washington, Washington State. Yeah, we’re not from the Washington that is leading us to bankruptcy. We’re from the Evergreen State…the state that’s green with trees, not with other people’s money…and we cast five votes for Congressman Ron Paul. And we enthusiastically cast 38 votes for the next president of the United States, Mitt Romney.”
